CONCLUSIONSSchool administration and staff, as well as parents, are uniquely positioned to deter steroid use among adolescents.

Thus, broad‐based screening and prevention programs may be more effective than programs targeting student athletes alone. (Source: Journal of School Health)

However, it is important to not only include “at‐risk” persons in programming, because a mixed group of young people encourages a more positive peer‐to‐peer climate. In addition, peer mentorship activities should be actively facilitated by an adult supervisor to ensure positive communication and trust between the mentor and mentee.
